back again...

I'm in need of a break. It's the boy's birthday. He's stuck at the museum and I'm trying finish price checks. Not an easy job considering how often our book prices have changes due to the loonie.  So while I wait and try to ignore work for a bit I'm baking bread. For the first time. with quick rising yeast. Hopefully it will be done by the time the boy gets home.

There was a "sorta" break over lunch when I went outside to dig up the potatoes.  It was muddy and some of the crop was lost to a some critter - probably the mouse that was chattering at me from the pumpkin patch. Still, after gathering a few buckets, I'm wonderfully pleased with the whole "I made this" idea.  Hence the bread.

Yeah, I'm in a bit of a nesting mode - all domesticated and stuff. We're trying very hard to maintain a budget, clean out the freezers and  This week, I made chicken stock and lamb stew (burned my arm in the process.) Still have to can the tomatoes. Make sauce or something.

Autumn is the time for such things, right? Well, it's also the time for our Rhuddglyn event - this Saturday. But I'm only going for the day because the boy has to work & we have to work on the dugout that evening - must get as much work on it as we can before the month's end.

sigh....
